Not just on Holidays -

Ohio says "No", I say "No" - that's the end of it for me.

Remember drivers, you are responsible for "everything" found in your car - whether you bring it or not.

It is illegal to possess in public an open container of an alcoholic beverage. Conviction of this offense carries a maximum penalty of a $150 fine. Consumption of alcohol in a motor vehicle is a fourth-degree misdemeanor with maximum penalties of 30 days imprisonment or a $250 fine or both.
